Sažetak
According to Schwartz (2017), universalism has three subtypes: nature, concern, and tolerance. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore to what extent universalism is important to students in Southeast Europe: as a value in general ; in terms of preserving the natural environment ; in terms of a commitment to equality, justice and protection for all people ; in terms of acceptance and understanding of those who are different from oneself ; and in terms of differences between countries, including the country’s membership or non- membership in the European Union. The aim is also to compare the value of universalism to other basic human values (independence, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, tradition, conformism, and benevolence). To those aims, the Shalom H. Schwartz’s PVQ-RR questionnaire on basic human values was used to conduct a survey on a sample of 1, 419 university students in seven Southeast European countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Hungary, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia) based on the quantitative survey method. The results of the descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis show that universalism is ranked high in the hierarchy of basic human values among Southeast European students, and that there is a statistically significant difference in the importance of universalism among the countries. The contribution of this paper is of a comparative and international character in an area where such research is lacking, while the results indicate the need for further exploration of the value system of young people in Southeast Europe.
